Hm... I'm just wondering if anyone gets inspiration for their creations from computer games. I've seen alot of mentions of movies at points in time, but the only game I've seen mentioned is Age of Empires.

So, do you have any games you use to inspire? I personally draw a bit on Stronghold: Crusader, simply because it has such an advanced castle-building engine and a large variety of troops to work with.

There just isn't enough fantasy/castle games out there except for strategy games. The new World of Warcraft looks awesome since it is an RPG so you can see everything in all dimensions. So does the game Lineage II. I don't have either, so mainly AOE for me. I just wish there was a way to rotate the camera view to see what the back of the buildings look like.

my son has been standing, looking over my shoulder watching me play Baldurs Gate 2 for the last couple of weeks, and the other day he made my group of heroes into minifigs. complete with a hamster for boo.

I've been making lots of MOC's based on the Sanguo yanyi, which has dozens of games based on it. Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Tactics, and more are based on this novel. So far I have just the main Shu characters- Liu Xuande, Guan Yu, Zhang Yide, Zhao Zilong, and Huang Zhong. In doing so I've had to do some minor custom work, which means I'm no longer the innocent LEGO purist I once was.

Warcraft!
I love the old ones but the new one and the RPG are just too "different" from the original two. Besides that, the game finalfantasytactics(my rp char was based on a guy from that game but I'm not saying who )
